Downloads 'stop' at 99.9%

**jamesbowers** · July 9th, 2006, 03:00 AM

Hey guys, this is my first post so bear with me!

I have used Azureus to download my .torrents for some time now, but have recently started having trouble when they get to the 99% mark. The down speed will just go to zero, and the torrent simply stops. I never had this problem before, but it's happened on 2 torrents now so surely something is wrong? I'm attaching a screenie with some of the important bits highlighted, if it's any help to you guys.

Thanks a bunch, it's really appreciated!

try
*to post what kind of error do you get?
*to redownload

if problem still persist
*try to reinstall your Azureus

but that's the thing, i'm not getting error messages, the downloads are simply slowing to 0kb/s when they reach 99%. Also, i said it had happened on 2 torrents consecutively now, so surely re-downloading wouldn't solve anything.

right click on the file youre downloading (in the window of Azureus)
then click "show details"

then you will get same as my attachment

then on the "i encircled" there you get the error messages

lol OH those error messages - nope, haven't got any errors, just a bloody annoying slowdown lol

have you try to uninstall and reinstall your azureus?

**jamesbowers** · July 9th, 2006, 04:13 AM

yup, and i just upgraded to the newest possible version, no change.

Are you downloading from public sites.. There lies your problem.

**jamesbowers** · July 9th, 2006, 06:09 AM

well i googled "azureus" and downloaded it from somewhere, and i use www.torrents.to to get my torrents (which i have always used, and have never had problems before)

**shawners** · July 9th, 2006, 07:23 AM

Id worry about downloading mission impossible 3 thats in a folder.. More likely its a TS converted to a dvd format. Most likely its fake and its there to stop you from getting the real movie.

ah lol thanks!

I can't belive no ones pointed this out to you yet but that 2nd torrent has no seeds 0_o

thats why its not moving.

on the otherone your not connected to any of the seeds you could either wait or just go find another torrent of it and add it to that one it will add the tracker info and the seeds.

That would explain the bottom file, but the top one should move. I think its a xvid possibly. You can try manual announce to update to the tracker, other then that you be a sitting duck. I would download from somewhere else.

Lately, I have been having the same problem as the person who started this thread. And so does another person that I know.

We just restart Azureus and the downloads complete right away.

Something may be amiss.
